[SPOILER] INFINITE’s Hoya makes a shocking confession on ‘Reply 1997′

Member Hoya of popular boy group INFINITE has given fans and viewers of his sitcom quite a surprise.

On the most recent broadcast of tvN‘s ‘Reply 1997‘ which aired on August 1st, Hoya’s character Junhee made a surprising confession when he revealed the identity of his secret crush to Siwon (A Pink‘s Eunji). His crush turned out to be not a girl, but rather a guy, Yunjae (Seo In Guk).

The script had hinted earlier on that Junhee is a sensitive guy who seems to be able to empathize with the hearts of the women around him. Having decided to reveal their secrets with one another, Junhee then revealed to Siwon, ”Truthfully… I like Yunjae,” he confessed.

His confession came as a surprise to the viewers tuning in for it is not common to see a gay character on a television broadcast in Korea. Viewers expressed their surprise as well as applauded Hoya for bravely taking on Junhee’s role with his idol image, stating, “I was totally blown away by the surprise“, “No wonder Junhee could read the minds of girls so well“, and “That must be a difficult role for an idol to take on, Hoya’s really something“.

To this, the drama’s production team remarked, “A lot of people may be surprised with Junhee’s confession, but there’s more to come. Please anticipate more unexpected turn of events.”
